Jesus Heals a Paralytic

And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city.

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralytic

So He got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own city.

And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.

2

Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.”

3

And behold, certain of the scribes said to themselves, This [man] blasphemes.

3

And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, “This Man blasphemes!”

4

And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, Why do *ye* think evil things in your hearts?

4

But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?

5

For which is easier: to say, Thy sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise up and walk?

5

For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?

6

But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, (then he says to the paralytic,) Rise up, take up thy bed and go to thy house.

6

But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” — then He said to the paralytic, “Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”

7

And he rose up and went to his house.

7

And he arose and departed to his house.

8

But the crowds seeing [it], were in fear, and glorified God who gave such power to men.

8

Now when the multitudes saw it, they marveled[a] and glorified God, who had given such power to men.

9

Jesus Calls Matthew

And Jesus, passing on thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, called Matthew, and says to him, Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

9

Matthew the Tax Collector

As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him.

10

And it came to pass, as he lay at table in the house, that behold, many tax-gatherers and sinners came and lay at table with Jesus and his disciples.

10

Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples.

11

And the Pharisees seeing [it], said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with tax-gatherers and sinners?

11

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12

But [Jesus] hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.

12

When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

13

But go and learn what [that] is -- I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous [men] but sinners.

13

But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, [b]to repentance.”

14

Jesus Questioned about Fasting

Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?

14

Jesus Is Questioned About Fasting

Then the disciples of John came to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast [c]often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

15

And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the bridechamber mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom will have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.

15

And Jesus said to them, “Can the [d]friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

16

The Patches and Wineskins

But no one puts a patch of new cloth on an old garment, for its filling up takes from the garment and a worse rent takes place.

16

No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for [e]the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse.

17

Nor do men put new wine into old skins, otherwise the skins burst and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.

17

Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins [f]break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

18

The Healing Touch of Jesus

As he spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler coming in did homage to him, saying, My daughter has by this died; but come and lay thy hand upon her and she shall live.

18

A Girl Restored to Life and a Woman Healed

While He spoke these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped Him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her and she will live.”

19

And Jesus rose up and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.

19

So Jesus arose and followed him, and so did His disciples.

20

And behold, a woman, who had had a bloody flux [for] twelve years, came behind and touched the hem of his garment;

20

And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment.

21

for she said within herself, If I should only touch his garment I shall be healed.

21

For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.”

22

But Jesus turning and seeing her, said, Be of good courage, daughter; thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.

22

But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.

23

And when Jesus was come to the house of the ruler, and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a tumult,

23

When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing,

24

he said, Withdraw, for the damsel is not dead, but sleeps. And they derided him.

24

He said to them, “Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him.

25

But when the crowd had been put out, he went in and took her hand; and the damsel rose up.

25

But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

26

And the fame of it went out into all that land.

26

And the report of this went out into all that land.

27

Jesus Heals Two Blind Men

And as Jesus passed on thence, two blind [men] followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David.

27

Two Blind Men Healed

When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!”

28

And when he was come to the house, the blind [men] came to him. And Jesus says to them, Do ye believe that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

28

And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

29

Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.

29

Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”

30

And their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them sharply, saying, See, let no man know it.

30

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.”

31

But they, when they were gone out, spread his name abroad in all that land.

31

But when they had departed, they [g]spread the news about Him in all that [h]country.

32

Jesus Heals a Mute Man

But as these were going out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed by a demon.

32

A Mute Man Speaks

As they went out, behold, they brought to Him a man, mute and demon-possessed.

33

And the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake. And the crowds were astonished, saying, It has never been seen thus in Israel.

33

And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, “It was never seen like this in Israel!”

34

But the Pharisees said, He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.

34

But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.”

35

The Sheep and the Harvest

And Jesus went round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness.

35

The Compassion of Jesus

Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease [i]among the people.

36

But when he saw the crowds he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and cast away as sheep not having a shepherd.

36

But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were [j]weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.

37

Then saith he to his disciples, The harvest [is] great and the workmen [are] few;

37

Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

38

supplicate therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workmen unto his harvest.

38

Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
